Raiza Anne asked:

During practice, I do my best and I'm good when we scrimage. But during games, I freak out and I don't do as well. How can I overcome this p

Shashwat’s answer:

This is a problem that many athletes initially deal with, because they are afraid of messing up in front of their coach and everyone else watching. I would suggest talking to your coach and asking for his or her advice. Secondly, the main thing that I ... Continue reading »

Leeandra Long asked:

if you are playing softball for middle school what do the coaches expect in other places

Shashwat’s answer:

Got it. When I was in middle school, in CT, middle school sports were pretty competetive. It is difficult to make the team, depending on how many people show up and what their skill level is. We had cuts in our programs, because we had some very skille... Continue reading »

Victoria Winchester asked:

I have a torn rotater cup in my right shoulder. Does that mean my softball career is over?

Shashwat’s answer:

I think that you mean rotator cuff. If that is the case, then I would agree with Toby in his advice. It will take a lot of rehab to bring you back to the level of play that you may want. Playing first base allows you to very rarely make throws, but hit... Continue reading »

If i have been playing basketball since I was 4 years old and my favorite sport is basketball. Will I make ''A'' team for 7th grade this yea

This seems to be a hot topic for a lot of middle school aged athletes. There is no way for anyone to know if you will make the team. It really depends on a number of factors. You may be a great player and easily make the team, depending on your own ski... Continue reading »

Isaac Allanarem asked:

I can play basketball to the best of my ability on the street but when I play organized basketball like in a league I can't play as good.

Shashwat’s answer:

Shashwat’s answer:

I also was puzzled by your question. Middle school programs are very different, based on where you play in the country. Some middle schools do not allow for their players to play on any other teams, for fear of injury or becoming worn down. However, th... Continue reading »

Garrett Randle asked:

Im a junior in high school wanting to know since I didn't basketball my freshman or sophmore year is it possible that i can still be scoute

Shashwat’s answer:

Of course it is still possible to get scouted. Freshman and sophomores in some areas only play freshman and j.v. ball, so they never get noticed until their junior or senior seasons. If you make the team and play enough minutes this season, it is possi... Continue reading »

Warren Yates asked:

Do you think it will be easy to make a 6th grade basketball team if you have not played basketball for a long time.

Shashwat’s answer:

It really depends on what type of competition there is for the team. If you have not played in a while, your skills will not be as sharp as other kids that may have been playing rec. and travel basketball. However, it is possible that you are still goo... Continue reading »
